You're an engineer, aren't you? Haven't you realized that they don't want you to fix anything, they want empathy?

Try a pregnant wife.

They just say I'm fat every minute of every day. And you have to respond no your not in the face of quite convincing evidence to the contrary.

When my wife was eight months pregnant she couldn't get in her car as someone had parked too close to it. I made the mistake of slightly smiling at this story.

i'm a techie geek, yes, but not an engineer. problem is, she's a techie too (a girl who likes the unix command line? yes, indeed, they exist! (although she doesn't do much with it...)). so what better way to show empathy than to offer to do anything for her?

For the last 10 years I've been pretending to lose my hearing. So when asked the "no win" question, I just pretend I didn't hear it. Any question that has to be repeated 3 times starts to sound stupid.

Well seeing as I wouldn't need to pretend.

Never thought of it as an advantage before.

Thanks Rah.

Don't you mean "happily ignoring marriage for almost 18 years"

Oh, more good advice:

Don't let your wife read the 'Poly OT, especially when you tell people that you pretend to be going deaf so you don't have to listen to the lil' lady

(MtG is screwed)

Yes, selective hearing lose can greatly reduce stress.
Not just the wife, but kids too.

Stefu, Rhinos don't stop short twice because the first time he does the Rhino following shoves his horn right up etc etc...

indeed. i've been doing that for the last five years on general principle. it's a fracking great excuse to not talk to someone, if you 'can't' hear them...

All this does is get me slapped:

"I'm sorry honey I didn't hear you"

*slap*

No method is 100% effective so each person will have to adjust fire according to the girl... er...situation.
